"Classic albums that aren't as good as everyone says" -az list:
O. Buxton says:

"They said: It's the greatest album ever made. Um, except for a few others. In fact: it's not even the greatest album Radiohead's ever made (the Bends is)."

"They said: the very apex of the Rolling Stones acheivement. In fact: Too long, badly mixed and not half as good as the one with Gimme Shelter on it."

"They said: The saviours of British rock n roll. In fact: Unimaginative apists of the Beatles (in their least interesting period)."

"They said: A new direction for gritty chick rock. In fact: Bunny boiler on an album length grizzle. Turn that racket off!"

(re- OK Computer, Exile on Main Street, Oasis, Alanis Morrisette)
funny. They said / In fact.
